Very nice & lengthy collection of quality free fonts. Thanks!

I have most of these but the first few sans serif’s are fantastic, especially Beziden. It’s exactly what I’m looking for at the minute.
I’ll be a hero when I show this at work in the morning!

Honestly, I can never have enough fonts.. The funny thing is, its like TV, all the stations and I can still never find what I want..

@Daisy: How funny is that? I was just talking about Beziden (as a potential replacement for the current Six Revisions logo). Glad this collection helped!

Really? Scanning your handwriting or bastardizing and sodomizing Garamond is beautiful? This is why type designers are not taken seriously.

Are you kidding ? These fonts are awful and the ones that work with it should try Comic Sans. Free fonts are not the designer’s friend. Un seul mot : amateurisme.

Nice, free fonts are always welcome. Shame I am blocked for most of these sites at work :(
I will get them at home later.
Many thanks

I love typography – it makes a website

Really I don’t like your choice of free fonts (apart from one or two of them). A better choice of free professional fonts was published at Smashing Magazine http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/11/08/40-excellent-freefonts-for-professional-design/
Thank you, anyhow.

December 17th, 2008
Thank you so much. Always love more fonts.
And I don’t know why you hate on free fonts. If it works and the client likes it…why not?
How about post a link to some great fonts that you have to buy. I would like to see the difference.

Jacob. Brotha. Some of these are weak. American Dreams? Groove Machine? Metro Retro? I would replace those with Museo, Museo Sans and Knife Fight, fo’ show.

Ack, some of these are terrible. Some are great, sure, but… urgh. I’m no designer’s designer, but if I caught a peer using a few of these fonts, I’d have to shut ‘em down.

A point: Advent Pro is beautiful, but it’s not hand drawn. The preview image is only a sketch from the font’s designer.
